This could end poorly

[Bondysbike]

Some of y'all that were in Stearns for RAA East this year might remember me gimping around with a brace on my knee. When we got home my ortho pulled 50mls of fluid out of it and 30 more the next week that had cartilage floating around in it.

Long story short, I just got back from surgery to fix the meniscus in 2 places, grind out a bunch of spurs and arthritis, and clean up the cartilage .

Doc said it went great and should be nearly good as new in a week or so.

The end poorly part? I am gonna be laid up for a few days, bored to death, eating oxycontin like peanuts, and have nothing better to do than hang out and post here.

Jeez...just put me right off me macaroni and meat sauce...

Thanks Glenn. @JoseyR3Wales How's the paw doing?

A lot better Bill. Since the young employees don't want to do work, using my hands and knowledge are a necessary evil. Stitches still in and waiting for a hand specialist appointment but I can pick and flick boogers on passing windshields. I think that I can twist a throttle again. Closing the fist works but ring finger won't extend upwards all the way. You worry about getting yourself well friend.

Good to hear it brudda. Knee seems to be mending pretty well. Can't wait until tomorrow so I can unwrap it and take a freaking shower though.

Speaking of pictures , it was news to me but they actually record the whole procedure through the scope and ask if you would like to be emailed a copy. Of course I said yes. Haven't looked at it yet.

Reckon I could upload the works for y'alls viewing pleasure.

i had a brace from my socks to my jocks a bit like you have there. I cut the bottom off a plastic bag and put my leg thru it. A rubber band at the top and bottom held it tight so i could shower. It was sooooo good to finally get the bandages off and carefully wash around the stiches....gotta be careful about infection tho so use plenty off protection.
